From Sea, Earth and Sky, All the In Betweens
From Sea, Earth And Sky, All The In Betweens
So sweet, splashing waves of Spring's fawning crest
beauty dear sent at Nature's kind behest,
vivid sprouting colors, its brilliant sheen
fresh dawn's soft-born glows, its peacock like preen!
Invigorating as earth, wakes to live
splendorous as Mother Nature yet gives,
a'plenty, its fields of flowering greens
from sea, earth and sky, all the in betweens!
Inspiring hues, as poets so oft describe
Hope awarded to all, with nary a bribe,
plenitude of rainbow colors, a feast
giftings of life, with Love never the least!
Wherein, mankind sees Nature at its best.
So sweet, splashing waves of Spring's fawning crest!

Note:
From darkness was born light
From sadness was born anew
Once blinded now clear sight
Heart should be pure and true.
This poem was born as a healing and a remembrance
that one must recover from anger and forgive those
that are steeped in darkness, envy, hate and any of the
other evils that so beset mankind. With that in mind I
went back in time to a most joyous and wonderful time
in my youth. And thank God I was then so very blessed....
